90/10 shock on the rear

I know of a very well known chassis builder/racer who's cars are supposed to be very secretive that runs one all the time.

It may be easy to say he has one on it, IT is REALLY tough to say WHAT he has on it. If it is the person I am thinking of he used to have a mount to put it on that made it look like it was hooked to the rear even when it was not. He is the KING of "look at this" while you miss 10 other things.

I used one back in the tailout, right front brake shut off, 60%+ rear weight and drive it with the right foot days. Now with rear steer, car under you, centralized weight, new shocks and all the other gizmos I dont miss it. Really am not going alot faster just going fast more consistantly.

its been 3-4years since i worked on a late model. Has everyone really stopped using the RF shut off?

We have one, he hasn't used it in 2 years..LOL

Is it a car where everything is black underneath so that you can't really make anything out? but for some reason that "9010" is chrome?

My knowledge is not from his personal car but a customers. Whoever "He" is. lol

A 90/10 will hold car up delaying traction throughout turn. Yes you can use one and yes they work. Do not exceed 10 degree upward angle toward the front. Just that somewhat annoying delayed traction deal. You can always run a 10/90 shock on the rear end facing towards the back. It works well as long as you don't let it top out. You can also just follow the current trend, and never get any faster but always be spending money. lol

We had it on practice day two weeks ago and it was 3 tenths faster than anything there and the track was extremely slick with no problem getting traction the driver was happy , we shall see tomorrow night.

With an oil 90/10, I could see a traction delay. With a gas 9/0 and rod pressure, I would think there would be very minimal delay and the advantage of being able to run more bite and stay tight in. JMO

[dchamp3]

It was a gas 90/10 and doesn't hurt traction,just like you said.

A "GAS" 90/10 can be a good tool for some tracks and track conditions. The older style 90/10s are really a traction robbing device, but the "GAS" versions can aid in traction...
